I sold my Black e39 M5 on here, but before that, the first chance I got, I did a photo shoot with this E34 and the owner. He is an incredibly genuine BMW enthusiast. His energy is contagious and talking to him makes you want to own every BMW model made. If I were looking for an E34 I would want to buy from a seller like this. Shout out to pic 29 i8 sighting and pic 48 Java Green M3!

@royale18 there is no stand, I considered getting one from ebay that was $119, but never bought it. When the hardtop was off it was either in my living room at the Condo I lived in when I first bought it (fun conversation piece), or in my garage when I bought the house I live in now. It has been stored on a rug and cleaned regularly. The hardtop defroster and interior lighting works perfectly.

@royale18 For the seat repair there was a discussion over the phone with the shop to replace the lower portion of the seat for around $2k. At that point it would be cheaper to buy a new seat or set of seats. I did not want to sell this car with needed DIY repairs, but I believe this $40 part will remedy the situation – http://www.odometergears.com/products/BMW/3+Series+E36+90-00/26

@M3Augy The lower portion of the seat mechanics work great. The seat will go up and down and forward and backward. This should satisfy the majority of drivers. The seat back does not tilt using the electronic lever, which means it stays in an upright position. To access the rear seat, the manual lever does work. I hope this clarifies. I really wanted this fixed for the sale, but the cost from the shop did not make sense for me to spend. The next owner can see if they can live with it. Or try to fix it. Or find a replacement seat.

@Premise scroll to the top of the listing and at the lower portion of the BaT essentials area, click contact seller. Two people have connected with me about test drives so it must be working. If there is no button for you, try a different web browser.

These are just estimates, but I have seen open carrier trucking from Oregon to New York for $1700. Closed carrier to New York at $2,200. @M3Augy I would hold the car up to two weeks. I prefer to have its new owner enjoy it asap.

@wattsbmw3 The transmission shifts great in all temperatures. The concern from the PPI was that when shifting from second to third, sometimes it wants to go to fifth gear. This is something that has been present since I first owned this BMW, but I have become used to it and I don’t even think about it. As long as you shift straight up to third, you will be in the correct gear. The next owner could decide to live with it or repair. The shop quoted $180 for the job, $120 in labor and $60 in parts. Also, I tried to reply to this earlier this morning from mobile but it did not take. I will always try to respond as quick as possible to any questions or concerns.

@WATTSBMW3 shifting is easy and it does not change when cold. I see what the ppi report is talking about when shifting from second to third. Sometimes it might shift into fifth if you aren’t familiar with this vehicle. It has probably been just like this since I first owned it but am used to it. As long as you shift straight up into third it is smooth. Something the next owner can either live with or update. Shifting gears is easy and smooth in my opinion.

@MitchB After 15 minutes of research, it looks like every non M E36 could benefit from having the Rear Subframe Reinforcement Kit applied. The good news is that my tech buddy did not say anything when changing out the suspension in 2017 and also the thorough PPI last month did not note anything. This could be a great improvement for this BMW by the next owner.
